The big event early this past month was Cory and Autumn's wedding in Redlands, CA. We had a wonderful time and are so grateful to see how happy they make each other. It also made for a fun short get away with friends and a hotel stay.
Back at school for picture day, Mommy and Kaylee got to help out in Cienna's class during computer lab. We plan on going at least once every other week since Kaylee is such a good listener and doesn't disrupt the class.
A treasure package then showed up in the mail from Grammy followed by an always great time visit with Uncle Joe and Dana. It had been too long. Next Mommy and Daddy made the girls a half length balance beam which they have had fun practicing their moves.
The weekends are still filled with soccer, one of which included team/individual pictures.
Then the girls had a double late night weekend starting with magic night at school (Brock Edwards), then family movie night in the back yard (Freebirds) thanks to Daddy's work equipment set-up.
The last weekend was topped off sharing loads of fun with the Bakx. Starting Saturday with our annual Pumpkin Patch/Date Night trip. Then Sunday was a real treat thanks to Roman scoring us some Galaxy/Sounders Tickets!
So, Cienna's #5 tooth came out, but that #6 is sure being stubborn. She got to pick out her first "heels" for the wedding and loved every bit. Each week she is improving her soccer skills and still smiles the whole time she plays. At school she had a huge achievement when her teacher read a story that she was writing in class and immediately took her to the principals office.... for a good reason. She got to read her story to the principal who was also impressed and let her pick out a prize. She also got moved to the upper class (2nd-5th) graders at after school care. Lastly, she is yet to miss a spelling word, even the challenge words that are given each week!
Kaylee has taken up Hula Hooping in her spare time and is a goal scorer on the soccer field. Even though she is one of the smallest on the team, she is probably the fastest. But she still only really plays for the snacks at the end of the game. She was really proud that she read a whole book all by herself this month. Then Cienna brought her home a perfect beginners book that she could also read, and that one had 30 pages. Impressive patience. Finally after a story time this month Kaylee got her first library card (only one in the family so far). It's been put to good use for her and Cienna.
So then there's Cuty G. (Cutie Goldy). It's a fish that our Pre-school acquired about the same time that Cienna started there. It's now ours 4 years later. Teacher was just over having a fish. She actually fits right in with Porter, as she too is crazy active in that tank of hers.
Speaking of Porter, he got to have a play date with another new friend, Chalula! He already knows her name and has started showing her the "ropes" : )
Looking forward to Halloween starting off the Holiday season! Enjoy.
